‘TWO GUNS TO HER HEAD’

A spokesman for London CIV said: “London CIV is responsible for investing significant sums on behalf of the boroughs and therefore has a duty to consider all potential risks.

“In carrying out this duty, we are in discussions with all boroughs as to consider all risks which might potentially impact on infrastructure.

“These discussions are ongoing and the London CIV is continuing to debate with its members the shape of its infrastructure strategy. No decisions on this strategy have been made.”

And Camden Council added: “Viewing other organisations’ reports in no way reflects either our endorsement of or our opposition to any political party’s policies and no decisions were made at the meeting, or subsequently, regarding changes to our future infrastructure investment.”

The vice president of the National Union of Students posted on Twitter pictures of himself with Mr Corbyn in Parliament last night, along with the Shadow Chancellor John McDonnell and Labour MPs Dawn Butler and Rupa Huq.

The new group advertises itself as “an inclusive organisation supporting British Muslims’ engagement in the political process and with Labour, based on our shared values of social justice and equality”.

JEREMY CORBYN today faces angry demands to condemn vile Labour supporters who left a full-size coffin outside a female Tory MPs office. Totnes MP Sarah Wollaston said it was shocking that a party that lost the murdered Jo Cox would condone such “crass” behaviour. The local Labour party encouraged its members to join a protest […]

And in a direct attack on Mr Corbyn, Ms Wollaston said: “My message to Labour, who were part of Saturday’s march and encouraged people to join it, since sadly this does not appear to be obvious, is that you cannot preach about ‘gentler politics’ and allow someone to leave a coffin at my door.”

Labour MPs also slammed the activists who left the coffin. Exeter MP Ben Bradshaw angrily told party activists: “Next time, go canvassing.”

Ms Wollaston received support from across the political spectrum after her ordeal.
